A nurse is preparing to teach a newly diagnosed diabetic client how to administer insulin injections. Which action should the nurse take first to ensure the client’s readiness to learn?
Begin the demonstration to show the client the proper technique for administering insulin.
Involve a family member to assist the client during the teaching process.
Provide written materials explaining how to self-inject insulin before starting the lesson.
Ask the client about their understanding of their diagnosis and current concerns.
The correct answer is focused on assessing whether the client is mentally and emotionally prepared to engage in the teaching process. Readiness to learn encompasses factors such as understanding the purpose of the education, emotional stability, and potential stressors. Starting education without assessing readiness may lead to poor retention or implementation of the information. Providing written materials or involving family members should occur after ensuring the client is ready to learn.
